The impact of exercise on sleep and sleep disorders

Abdulmenaf Korkutata, Mustafa Korkutata, Michael Lazarus · 3 Feb 2025

Regular exercise provides a variety of health benefits, including enhanced sleep quality and reduced symptoms of sleep disorders. The complex interaction between sleep and physical activity involves various physiological and psychological processes. Exercise has a positive effect on sleep, but factors such as age, sex, and fitness level, and specific exercise aspects such as intensity,…

Endocrine regulation of circadian rhythms

Kimberly Begemann, Oliver Rawashdeh, Iwona Olejniczak et al. · 8 Mar 2025

Circadian clocks are internal timekeepers enabling organisms to adapt to recurrent events in their environment - such as the succession of day and night-by controlling essential behaviors such as food intake or the sleep-wake cycle. A ubiquitous cellular clock network regulates numerous physiological processes including the endocrine system. Levels of several hormones such as melatonin,…

Beyond vision: effects of light on the circadian clock and mood-related behaviours

Dean Stewart, Urs Albrecht · 13 Mar 2025

Light is a crucial environmental factor that influences various aspects of life, including physiological and psychological processes. While light is well-known for its role in enabling humans and other animals to perceive their surroundings, its influence extends beyond vision. Importantly, light affects our internal time-keeping system, the circadian clock, which regulates daily rhythms of biochemical…

Brain circadian clocks timing the 24h rhythms of behavior

Jorge Mendoza · 22 Mar 2025

The mammalian circadian system is composed of multiple cellular biological clocks synchronized among each other, maintaining thus robust rhythms of behavior. The hypothalamic suprachiasmatic nucleus, or SCN, harbors the principal clock that coordinates circadian rhythms in peripheral tissues and brain structures. Besides the SCN, other central regions contain 24 h activity in electrical properties, metabolic…

Dual orexin receptor antagonists as promising therapeutics for Alzheimer’s disease

Sydney M. Ragsdale, John M. Radovich, Isabel I. Coiduras et al. · 8 Mar 2025

We examine the relationship between sleep, glymphatics and Alzheimer's disease (AD), and recent work questioning glymphatic clearance during sleep. We highlight a need for understanding glymphatic and/or other mechanism of clearance during sleep, and review glymphatic flow measurement methods. Further, we explore dual orexin receptor antagonists (DORAs) potential to mitigate AD sleep disturbances and enhance…
